Hello dance folks, 

I was able to get some grant money to purchase 2 rolls (150ft ea.) of exercise band material for use in some of my dance majors' classes for conditioning exercises and just for the dance department to have into the future. I am looking for a volunteer or a couple of volunteers to help cut them down into 11ft sections. It is as easy as cutting a rubber band with scissors.  I am willing to do a socially-distanced porch drop-off and pick up OR a contact-free delivery to the trunk of your car if you can swing by the YPAS building.  Let me know which you prefer.  NOTE: Unfortunately, these particular bands do contain some latex, so please do not volunteer if you or someone in your family has an allergy to latex. Service hours are available for students. If you are interested in helping with 1 or both of the rolls, please email me at Kimberly.Mansilla@jefferson.kyschools.us. Thanks!

Hello Dance Majors:

First we hope you are doing well during this time. As you may be aware Non-Traditional Instruction for JCPS begins tomorrow April 7, 2019. We want to let you know that there are multiple ways to access work for the dance department teachers. I've listed the two main options below and either is fine. 

Option 1:  JCPS NTI Portal > duPont Manual NTI Portal > Click on dance teacher's name > Directed to Google Classroom. 

OR

Option 2:  Go directly to Google Classroom (GC).  There is one set up for each grade level. Both your ballet and modern teacher will interact with you through this one GC.  Join only the class that corresponds to your current grade level. The join codes are as follows:

• Freshman Dance Majors GC Join code:  7ccwvev  
• Sophomores Dance Majors GC Join code: occ6e4y
• Juniors Dance Majors GC Join Code: 7z2cmaw
• Senior Dance Majors GC Join Code: 7spmplr

Tips/Suggestions:

• Students, you must use your JCPS Google email and account to interact with Google Classroom. If at any point you get a message saying this page is only for members of JCPS, it likely means your browser is using your personal Google account instead of your school Google account.

 

• If possible, it will be helpful to download the Google Classroom App onto your smartphone for turning in assignments with video. A tutorial is posted in Google Classroom. 

 

• Please reach out to your dance teacher by email if you have questions or concerns about your NTI work or any other dance related concerns. 

Finally, Mrs. Mansilla would greatly appreciate it if students would take this Pre-NTI Survey.  It is only 4 questions and takes 2 minutes to complete. Thanks!!
